Dr Martin Luther King Jr. BBC Radio Package 1

Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech is known, and quoted, around the world, but few people know about the speech he gave in Newcastle in 1967 - after being given an honorary doctorate by the University.

BBC Newcastle broadcast long-lost footage from that speech shortly after it was discovered - but we thought it deserved a wider audience.

All this week we'll hear what happened when our reporter Murphy Cobbing took the King's Speech to the US.
